Shop Update! 🍂 Woodland Apothecary: Series II is now available on my website! A collection of 12 Woodland Witch Inspired Cherry Hardwood Vessels www.galdrecraft.com/category/woo...
12 cherry hardwood vessels shot at a low angle making some of the bowls seem larger than they are and the ones in the back smaller than they are but it was the best photo of the group so i'm going with it, there are some pumpkins in the background to be festive

i let my fitness deteriorate from like, 2016 to 2022 due to overwork, burnout, depression... muscles atrophied, had a hard time going down stairs & getting up off the floor, chronic joint pain, heart attack risk territory, and tried soooo many times to get back in shape the stars aligned eventually

nahh dude, i've been real off and on this year for one, and for two: a few years ago the only exercise i got was walking my dog a couple times a day--30 mins straight on an elliptical would have flattened me i "failed" a bunch before it stuck, and still backslide plenty--just keep showing up!

i had a very tentative goal of breaking 100 lbs on my bench this year after injuring my left AC joint last fall and for most of the year i figured i wouldn't hit it, but now... kind of looking possible??? not gonna do anything stupid just to hit an arbitrary number by an arbitrary date, though

Added a few new items to my shop. Some cherry candlestick holders just trying out some different turning forms and two new tarot deck boxes. One from some Black and White Ebony I had left over after a commission. The other is of everyone's favorite, walnut. www.galdrecraft.com
cherry turned candlestick with neon candle (not included its not mine) Candlestick body has a large orb shape with a padauk inlay to make it look like an eye. A little experiment for a "familiar" candle idea.
